<p>wbb,</p>
<p>depends on what you tell your manager (interviewer) when you'll be available. seems like a lot of college grads like to start in the middle of the summer like in july after they graduate.</p>
<p>hey KFC, how do the full time offers get extended? at the end of the internship your manager tells you if you got an offer? THen if thats the case whats the point of all those job fairs at boeing that you mention?</p>
<p>Don't believe all the hype about boeing, Lockheed Martin Missles and Space is where the players play.</p>

<p>yeah some managers extend offers. however, some people may like the company but not the job function at his/her current internship and may want to switch to another one. also, some corporations (including boeing) have rotation programs for top recruits, which are competitive to get into. and as always, it's also good to meet the hiring managers or recruiters from other groups within the company.</p>
<p>how are the rotational programs? will they make u move up faster?</p>

<p>i'm only familiar with the business one at boeing called the business career foundation program (not sure if they have an engineering one), you will rotate through 6 business areas in 2 years. some of these business areas include accounting, contracts, procurement, supplier management, financial planning, cost analysis, etc. </p>
<p>the advantages include having mentors, training, and networking with management in the program, and also being able to try different business areas so when you finish your 2 years, you know which area is your strongest and youre most interested in so you can transition into that area (and have a job that is well-suited for your strength). ultimately, you've been exposed to many different business areas, and such skills are valued when one is being considered for management positions!</p>
<p>i would think if boeing had an engineering one, or if any other company has a rotation program, it'd be similar in format and have similar goals: basically to make you a strong and versatile employee suited for management positions.</p>
